This is a known issue, and one we’ll be fixing in the coming weeks.

bbPress 2.0 comes with support for user profiles, yes.

[John James Jacoby]

So… A few thoughts on this as of today. My opinion on this is probably easily swayed, but it’s what I think now so I’m gonna roll with it…

So topics and replies, are already hierarchical to each other; replies are children of their topic. Forums by their nature are meant to be focused topics of discussion. It’s possible that topics can grow very large in size, but the intent is to keep the conversation fairly linear. Any forking/branching/nesting of conversations most likely belongs in a separate topic.

But…

Since we’re using custom post types, we still have the whole comments API just laying around WordPress that we’re not using. If, you /really/ wanted to have threaded discussion, you could add comments to the post_type_supports for replies, and build a theme to make it work. This would allow all kinds of neat extra usages for comments that are semi-conventional to blog posts. Use comments as reply feedback, use them as “Like” comments, use them for hidden moderator notes, etc…

Lots of fun ideas come to mind. Comments were also the natural choice FOR replies, just like taxonomies were the natural choice for Forums/Categories, but since they all lack revisions, attachments, taxonomies, etc, I opted to use another post type for them and leave comments for plugin authors and developers to play around with.

The ‘native’ text is an artifact from setting the eol-style. Not supposed to be there, and I’ll likely put out a Beta 3c to remove them. Super weird.

I’ll look into the pagination of favorites. Last I checked it was working just fine.

[John James Jacoby]

@zhonghao – What version of WordPress are you using? Sounds like you’re using 3.0.

is_post_type_archive()

was introduced in 3.1, so it should be available.

That error won’t happen as a result of a BuddyPress conflict. Matter of fact, the two plugins should play nicely together. They have been both activated and running at testbp.org for some time now, with no issues.

Got this from a site member…

“i have 2 pages of “favorites” and when i tried to go to the 2nd page of my favorites after clicking on my username, it redirects me to the home page”

Is this a bug? Has it been fixed?

Also what about my earlier report of the word “native” being at the top of many of the b3 files? What’s that about?

Thanks,

Jonathan

I believe that BuddyPress has it’s own version of bbPress within itself. Have you tried un-installing the bbPress, then a re-install through the BuddyPress admin menu option?

Just trying to help if I can. Though I’m having fits getting my own configuration worked out, I thought I’d pitch in my 2 cents.

[jdowen]

Does bbpress have user profiles? If so, where are they? And if not, is there a plugin to create them?

Thanks In Advance

James

Great to see BBPress as a WordPress Plug-in. It was a real pain trying to integrate WordPress and BBPress user accounts so I gave up.

It would be nice if there was a ‘Show Avatars’ option in settings. I wouldn’t use an external avatar site and, since WordPress users don’t have avatars, it would be good not to show empty boxes everywhere.

Hi,

I have a local version of bbpress running perfectly. However when I uploaded it to my live site it all sort of works except for the when you login to the bb-admin area.

When you login, that page gets stuck in a redirect loop between the login page and the admin page, and you can never access the admin area.

However on my local site you can login perfectly.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I’ve tried a different browser just incase it’s a cookies/session issue but its not al. Also the data base has been updated with what I think area all the correct urls. Is there something special in the db I’m missing?

Cheers.

Going to http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forums (with an s) will take you to your forum. You can change it at /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress.

Hi there,

I would like to know if there is a way to import a forum into a page instead of a post? For example, there is a poll plugin for WordPress that allows you to place a poll in the page using [poll id=”3″] tags.

Is this at all possible with bbPress? I’m using the latest WordPress as well as the latest bbPress plugin.

I feel that if this feature does not already exist, it should be implemented in the next release (Please)

Regards,

[John James Jacoby]

@zamoose – Beta 3b normalizes some function names from Beta 2, based on feedback from confused users trying to find the right functions to use. If you previously moved the bbPress bbp-twentyten templates into your custom theme, you’ll need to do that again with Beta 3/3b. No other structural changes are going in before 2.0.

Hello,

I have a website based on WordPress.

And I have installed bbPress.

My aim is to have a single ‘scrolling’ page.

My question is how I can ‘run’ the forum in a <div> ; which will be in my page.php theme of my wordpress website?

Thank you

[schrepel]

Installed bbPress 2.0-beta3 plugin this week, things initially seemed to work well, but now the main “Forums” page (http://www.nwcouncil.org/blog/index.php/forums/) doesn’t list any forums. However, the “bbPress Forum List” widget for twentyten theme *does* work.

I have two test forums (see http://www.nwcouncil.org/blog/index.php/forum/eric for example), so each forum and its posts work correctly, but clicking the “Forums” breadcrumb takes you to the blank page above.

I see that the page seems to include content from bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/archive-forum.php, which surprises me because I thought it would use /page-front-forums.php.

The only tweaks I’d made were to uncheck the “Incude the Forum Base slug in your single forum item links” box [also note the typo^ in that checkbox label], and I have WP permalinks set to month/year/postname.

Flummoxed, but liking the plugin in all other aspects.

I will gladly send any other details to whomever can help.

Hi to translate the Forum bbPress WordPress plug-in –

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

download translation (.mo) from here:

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-translation-internationalization-into-local-languages

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin

and put it here:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/bbpress-bg_BG.mo

MAY NOT NEED to set Anywhere (wp-config.php)

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘bg_BG’);

It works for me.

I installed bbpress through wordpress yesterday. I think I have everything installed correctly but I have a problem (so obviously something is wrong). I thought that if I added “forum” to the end of my site address if would show the forums. That basically takes me to a 404 page. But if I go directly to one of the categories it kind shows up. What I mean by that is that it is not a 404 page, but not quite the forums either. Hard to explain. So I will leave it alone for now and just include links to the two places and you can see for yourself and hop hopefully know what is going on.

Just to the “forum”= http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forum

To a category in the forums= http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forum/jokes/

One small fix I did right off the bat:

I moved the css/ and js/ directories into the included bbpress/ one and changed several references to their location in the bbp-twentyten templates. This allows the top-level theme directory be just a bit cleaner, as I know my theme (and many others) already have a css/ or js/ directory. Moving those into the bbpress/ sub-dir improves “clutter” and compartmentalization, IMNSHO.

Does anyone see any problems with this approach that I’m not seeing?

Hi Citizen Keith, that was the plugin that Ricardouk suggested, i’m afraid it doesn’t allow me to restrict messaging to just user <-> admin (don’t want users to be able to message each other)

Has anybody successfully installed bbPress alongside BuddyPress who could help me?

[citizenkeith]

It might be possible to hook into the template loader, see what the request is, and force it to look into a different folder, but there’s no possible way to do it at all with page templates; it’s actually purposely disallowed to prevent the theme from having to scan every file inside every subfolder to find them.

Minor technicality: This is actually technically possible with page templates. It’s just very awkward and involves a lot of side-stepping to achieve it. I looked into this for a project a while ago and came up with a really awkward way of doing it, and Otto came up with a much nicer solution, but both solutions were still pretty awful. Off the top of my head I can’t remember how either worked, but it was indeed possible. There’s a forum thread on WP Tavern about it somewhere – could be difficult to find though.

[Ryan Hellyer]

I’m surprised it didn’t work. The posts etc. should show up just fine I’d have thought, since they’re simply custom post-types which should work fine on multi-site. I’ll try installing it myself tomorrow perhaps and see if I can work out what’s up with it.

This would make managing my forums a lot easier if I can port them all to use multi-site. No more mucking around maintaining separate installs of everything, which I rarely update.

[Aphrodite]

for me that was in subdomains

Nothing appears at all…

[Ryan Hellyer]

That’s something you would add via your bbPress theme files.
